The thing that really grates me about the R56 at present is that I don't think some of the standard kit is up to scratch, forcing me to pay for expensive upgrades. I would like to see this rectified. Examples are
1. Standard Boost stereo is poor, both in sound and asthetic quality. A better standard system is required, with hopefully the option to change bits. The latter would do as a compromise.
2. The choice of fabrics for the interior is poor. I hate the white dotted stripe on the standard 1/2 leather sport seats. What's wrong with plain black?
3. Standard aircon controls look really cheap. (As does the entire centre stack)
4. Current collection of OEM wheels is ugly, unless you want to pay a small fortune for Webspokes or JCW. Flame/Bridgeare spokes the only decent ones available.
5. Ride height needs reducing.
6. The chrome strip around the rear lights looks naff.
7. Current colour selection is awful. Who mixed these paints? Where is our none metallic black?
8. The MFSW controls carried over from the 1st Gen look like an after thought on the new 3 spoke steering wheel.
Exterior looks good. Only problem there is being able to see far to much of the underside of the car when behind it, especially on the MCS. Why do the MCS exhausts dangle around so low?
Mostly just niggles that mean the R56s I have specced end up very expensive. |
